v3.2.0

Happy New Year everyone! We are excited to announce the release of Prysm v3.2.0.

This release contains a number of great features and improvements as well as progress towards the upcoming Capella upgrade. This release also includes some API changes which are reflected in the minor version bump. If you are using mev-boost, you will need to update your prysm client to v3.2.0 before updating your mev-boost instance in the future. See flashbots/mev-boost#404 for more details.
